Madame Charmaine Publisher's Summary

Kids from 9 to 13 should not pass up this 5-Star adventure book!

Madame Charmaine is a ripping yarn in the tradition of Huck Finn.

Madame Charmaine chronicles the adventure one summer of four close friends, three boys and a girl, all 12 years old, who discover a locked “treasure chest” half buried in the sandy shore of the Missouri River following a spring flood.

As they play detective and try to find out who buried the chest and what its strange content means, they meet up with a tall, mysterious woman in a turban and soon find out that they are playing a dangerous game, one that threatens to bury them alive in a grave of their own digging.
